Any dishonesty and misrepresentations aside, I wonder, is it Beatty’s job to make sure the guy is “certified,” or the University that employs the assistant coach?

In short, yes. He has to know and make sure anyone he hires is actually eligible to have that particular job. I don’t think it’s necessarily his job to make sure they get eligible (that’s on the coach and AD), but it is Beaty’s responsibility to know whether it’s been done or not.

Well just read where we have a new addition to the staff. Keith Belton the assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach from USC - - is coming on board for us.

Belton played football at Syracuse , was a running back - - had a four yr stint in the NFL - before going into the field. other previous stops in College has been at Wake Forrest , Baylor , and Washington. - sounds like pretty popular with players. - USC has taken a huge hit with their strength and Conditioning - -Head Coach left for the Seahawks - now we getting Belton , some of the USC players was even trying to get him hired as the Head Coach for the program Sounds like a nice addition for our program. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I’ve been saying it for years, the conference is done when this deal runs out. Best hope for us is that we don’t get banned and/or a ton of infractions from the NCAA for basketball. Then have Les make the football team respectable again and head to the Big 10.

We’re not getting a postseason ban or major infractions for $2500. That’s insane.

@FarmerJayhawk Also keep in mind that most cord cutting options like Roku, PSVue, Sling and others are not true a la carte options yet, they offer different packages based on similar type of programs such as premium movie channels, sports, travel and cooking, and options like that. Getting a conference network into those line ups as part of a sports package is what each of the conferences needs to do. The B12 is out in the cold on this because they don’t have a conference network because of the Longhorn Network which ESPN doesn’t want to roll over into a B12 Network which would the smart move on their end since the LHN isn’t available everywhere because they won’t do a deal with Comcast. Make it a B12 Network and Comcast would pay the price ESPN wants.

I really do believe one of the P5 conferences is going to die during the next round of realignment which is coming in the next 5 years and it’s going to be the B12 because the lack media markets outside of Texas that anyone cares about.

@JayHawkFanToo No one would question the greatness of the program. I’m just saying I think I’d rather have him in Manhattan than Littrell or Leavitt. Those guys built programs at the FBS level from scratch, I’m not saying KSU is in shambles but the cabinet isn’t full either. I personally think the Sunflower Showdown is better in all sports when we both have respectable teams but I don’t want KSU to have a ton of success.

I’m a FSU fan and I care about the optics but its not going to matter what I think of the matter. I have been reading of some people not on board with Briles because of the “baggage” from Baylor but your pretty much spot on that all that anyone is worried about is can this guy put points on the board and recruit.

As far as I know, Beaty is the only one that has been told he will not be coaching, all the other coaches and personnel are still technically employed and should be doing what is expected of their positions. I read somewhere that Bowen and Hull have been recruiting.

@Texas-Hawk-10 That would probably be the case if he was hired as an OC, which is unlikely at this point. I bet he ends up at Texas as some sort of offensive assistant. He seems to have been a life long Texas fan.

Looks like your connection to KU Buckets was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect.
